Has anyone ever had a starter bolt shake loose and fall out? I was at the store last night and went to start her up and the starter just wined it's *** off. I figured the solenoid went bad and crawled under the truck with a dead blow and a flash light to "adjust" it and found that the uper bolt was missing. When I get a new one Ill make sure to lock tight it but for now ***? I know Im a gas guy but I have never even heard of this. How much for a new one?

 

I haven't seen that before on a Cummins,normally everybody complains about how tight they are.

ok what the hell? I go to the dealership to get a bolt and they tell me its a bolt and a stud with a nut that hold my starter on. I didnt think it sounded right and it was dark when I looked the first time so I carry my *** back out in the parking lot of the dealership crawl under the truck and no no no it's not the same as the picture from the dealer net. its 3 bolts.... "number 5" on the picture and almost 7 dollars out of my pocket! Im used to getting oddball used viehicles but this is nutz!
